Nail pain may be caused by these three reasons. Find the cause and then treat it

Many people experience nail pain in their daily lives, but they do not pay enough attention to it and ignore the potential health risks they may have. Nail pain is likely caused by paronychia, inflammation and onychomycosis, so patients should learn more about it in order to better cooperate with the doctor's treatment and recover their health as soon as possible.

1. Paronychia

Paronychia is an infection of the nail groove or its surrounding tissues, which is mostly caused by injuries such as minor punctures, bruises, hangnails (reverse peeling) or cutting the nails too deep. The causative bacteria are mostly Staphylococcus aureus. You can first take oral medication for anti-inflammatory treatment. If the symptoms do not improve, the most thorough treatment is to go to the hospital's surgery department for nail removal.

2. Manifestations of inflammation

The more severe the inflammation, the slower the recovery. You should seek medical treatment for proper diagnosis and treatment to avoid recurrence or aggravation of the disease. At the same time, reduce local contact and stimulation, avoid smoking, drinking, staying up late, fatigue and cold, get more rest, adjust your mentality and promote recovery.

3. Onychomycosis

Pay attention to possible causes such as iron deficiency anemia, and also pay attention to whether the onychomycosis is caused by fungal infection. Keep the affected area dry and clean, do not wear tight shoes, and go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for timely examination, as well as blood routine and trace element determination.
